IMPROVEMENT IN VEGETABLE-CUTTERS.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 105,958, dated August 2, 1870.

To all whom it may concern l Be it known that I, JOHN LUsHER, of La Porte, in the county of La Porte and State of Indiana, have invented anew and Improved Vegetable-Gutter; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled' in the art to make and use the` same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part ot' this specilcation.

Figure l represents a plan or top view of my improved vegetable-cutter. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same.

form the cutting-edges, while the edges b are not used for cutting. v o

An instrument ot the above construction may be used likewa grater and held in hand, while the fruit to be sliced is drawn over it. The slices will be of equal thickness, and will be rapidly produced, one by every cuttingedge, during every other stroke of the hand. The edges a, it is seen, are not exactly turned outward, but are set so as to project beyond the outer face of the plate A, from which the edges b must project inwardly.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A vegetable-cutter, A, having the cut-tingedges a, rasping-edges b, and a corrugation on each side between them, as shown in Fig.

2 of' drawing, and for the purposes specified. Y

JOHN LUSHER.
